Thomas Lemar’s transfer saga has taken a new route, as Monaco prepare for the Frenchman’s exit from the club next summer. Club president Vadim Vasilyev, says, that Lemar will be given a ‘fair chance‘ to move on for big-money, as per reports from Daily Mirror.
The French International was targeted by a host of Premier League clubs this summer, with Vasilyev confirming the fact that Arsenal were close to sealing a massive £92million deal until Lemar pulled the plug on the deadline day.
Liverpool have also been one of the frontrunners in Lemar’s signature, as the reports claim, the Reds will battle it out with Arsenal for the services of the young Thomas Lemar next summer. The Frenchman is a long-standing target for both the PL clubs.
Lemar could prove to be a massive signing for the Reds. As Philipe Coutinho’s future with the club is looming large, Liverpool desperately needs an attacking sparkplug to replace the Brazilian playmaker. And Thomas Lemar could be the perfect man to do so.
The Frenchman is one highly talented individual with sublime technique and skill. Naturally a left winger by trade, Lemar can also act as an attacking midfielder, therefore, somehow resembling Coutinho in terms of preferred playing positions.
However, there are many aspects of his game, where he actually betters Coutinho. Firstly, Thomas Lemar is an excellent technical player. Blessed with sublime technical abilities, the attacker can easily form a threatening partnership with the likes of Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino, and Sadio Mane. Furthermore, the 21-year-old also excels in his craft and vision. Lemar is always on the lookout for that telling pass to sweep through opposition, but most importantly, his decision making in the final third, is definitely well beyond his years.
The Frenchman doesn’t lack in flair and pace either. In fact, he is better than Coutinho in terms of pace and acceleration which will mix well with the ones Klopp has at his disposal at the moment.
At just 21 years of age, Thomas Lemar is already taking Ligue 1 by storm and Liverpool will certainly want to splash the cash in this highly rated Frenchman, which will massively boost their chances of landing on the title next season.Although, the Reds should expect a strong competition in the race for the Monaco youngster.
A host of Monaco players in Bernardo Silva, Benjamin Mendy, Tiemoue Bakayoko have moved to the Premier League after impressing at Monaco last-term, and Thomas Lemar might just be the next player to follow suit.
